From 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Oct. 2, the Arkansas Down Syndrome Association will host its sixth annual Gettin' Down for Down Syndrome dance event at the Little Rock Zoo.

More than 800 people from across the state - and many from outside the state - are expected to attend this nonprofit event. Special guests include Butch Dicus as "Elvis." Dancing and train rides will be followed with a hamburger lunch.

Pre-registration can be done online or on the day of the event from 10 a.m.-noon. Participation costs $10 per person and includes zoo admission, event entrance, lunch ticket and a train ride. All individuals that have Down syndrome get in free and receive a free T-shirt.

The mission of the Arkansas Down Syndrome Association is to promote comprehensive community based health care services for individuals in Arkansas who have Down syndrome.
